The elections of this and last year
have considerably increased the
number of doubtful States. The
Democrats have lost ground in Viz
ainia, North Carolina, Kentucky,
Indiana and New Jersey; the Repnb-
licans have been similarly untortu-
nate in Massachusetts,, Rhode Is
land, and several other northern
States. Various reasons may be
assigned for the changes and dis
affections which have brought about
these results; but one conclusion, a,
least, is evident, and that is that
rarty ties are more readily broken
now than they have been for many
years past. In other words, it is
less certain now than it use TO be
that man will remain Democrat
because he has always been a Dem
